More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I’ve been babysitting since I was about 9 years old when I first became an aunt, and I’ve cared for my nieces, nephews, and family friends’ kids ever since. I also worked at my aunt’s daycare in Philadelphia, where I helped with playtime, meals, diaper changes, and keeping kids engaged throughout the day. Before moving to LA for college, I spent about two years babysitting regularly in Ardmore, PA, taking on gigs for local families. Those experiences gave me a strong foundation in childcare across different ages and settings.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love keeping kids engaged with activities that are both fun and enriching. Some of my favorites include reading together, arts and crafts, dancing, playing outside, and imaginative play. I also enjoy cooking simple snacks with kids and helping with homework when needed. I believe the best activities are the ones that spark curiosity and build confidence, and I always tailor what we do to the child’s age, energy, and interests.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part is creating a loving and safe space where kids feel happy and comfortable, and where parents can have full peace of mind knowing their child/children are in good hands.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moments are when kids get super excited as soon as they see me, or when we have our own little inside joke or memory that they only remember with me. Those moments always make me smile.
